With security disabled there is no requirement for users to log-in to the system. All users have full access to all the connected computers and full administration rights. With security enabled, users are required to log-in to the AdderView CATxIP 5000. Each user is allocated access rights to computers by the system administrator and they are only able to see the computers that they have access to on their on-screen menu.

HotKeys

Settings: Ctrl+Alt, Ctrl+Shift, Alt+Shift, Alt Gr, Left+Right Alt, Left Ctrl+Alt, Right Ctrl+Alt

The keyboard hotkeys are special combinations of keys that, when used together with certain keyboard “command keys”, perform special AdderView CATxIP 5000 functions. For example, pressing the hotkeys together with the “M” key will cause the on-screen menu to be displayed on your monitor. Other hotkey combinations allow you to query which computer you are connected to and

to move the on-screen menu around the screen. You can also use the hotkeys together with the port number to select a particular connected computer.

The AdderView CATxIP 5000 enables you to restrict access to your computers on a login basis. If a user forgets to logout when they have finished accessing the AdderView CATxIP 5000 then the user console may unintentionally be left with full access to all the computers. The AdderView CATxIP 5000 can be set to automatically logout unattended user consoles when the screen saver kicks in. This reduces the risk of security problems by preventing user consoles remaining in a permanent “logged-in” state when there is no keyboard or mouse activity. The automatic logout feature is only enabled when the screen saver feature is active (i.e. not disabled).
